Till date, the growth, use and possession of cannabis remains illegal in the United States under federal law. However, at the level of state jurisdiction, the legality of cannabis ranges from legal recreational use, medical use, and limited medical use to illegal. It seems that legality in some states has helped WeedTubers grow. The most popular WeedTuber has over 1.5 million subscribers and is none other than CustomGrow420.
Its popularity has overtaken YouTube to reach other social media platforms. On Instagram, he has 445,000 followers and around 20,000 on Twitter. CustomGrow420 followers love having educated him to grow and smoke marijuana (cannabis). His content is also said to be entertaining and yes he is a legal patient or so he says.
Who is Customgrow420?
Customgrow420 who was born on May 4, 1984, currently resides in Rochester in the United States. The American listed his hometown as Snowmass Village in Colorado and N. Hale University as his college. He’s done so many crazy stunts on camera and apparently he’s loved for them. He smokes weed sometimes until he is shaken, sweating extremely and on one occasion almost passed out. What qualifies as therapeutic still bewilders the minds of all who are not under its “smokescreen”.
Besides his personal YouTube channel, Customgrow420 is also part of the Filthy Frank Show where he makes several cameos. His most notable date is that of his own song. On his channel, he has a variety of catchphrases but his fans seem to like his weed-induced scream the most. This could just be a case of enchanted worshipers of a WeedTube idol loving everything he “smokes”.
What is his real name?
In case you haven’t heard, the word on the street is that CustomGrow isn’t WeedTuber’s real name. OK, not just on the street, it’s the truth and we should know that, our judgment isn’t clouded by a pat (yet?). His real name is Joel Hradecky.
That being said, the internet seems to be modern man’s karma. Joel Adam Hradecky, 22, was arrested in 2006, along with four others, for assaulting people in the suburban Lakewood Fort Steilacoom park. They were arraigned in Pierce County Superior Court on nine counts each; six counts of second degree assault and three counts of first degree robbery.
Well, even though some are claiming that CustomGrow isn’t, despite that being his real name and age matching his age, we’re keeping our fingers crossed. It should not be forgotten that the certain Joël was also arrested in the birthplace of CustomGrow. Make deductions yourself, we don’t.
Wife or girlfriend, is he married?
Yes, contrary to what you may think, Joel is married – to Emily Hradecky and they have three beautiful children together. Our concern is simply that these children don’t get caught up in the weed before they even know what it is and the health issues it could cause. While many of his fans describe him as having a pair of iron lungs, we really hope that turns out to be true after all, for the sake of his family at the very least.
Other facts about CustomGrow
1. Deleting YouTube
Soon after, YouTube tightened its policies and this saw many WeedTubers kicked out of space after receiving competing strikes. The king was not spared, his chain was also removed. There was such an outcry from fans that some WeedTubers looked for other avenues to continue “educating” their followers. On June 6, 2018, YouTube reportedly restored some channels, including Customgrow420’s, but many “insightful tutorials” on cannabis use were lost. Some sworn followers swear that the history was deleted and a time difference was created.
2. His net worth
For all it goes through to teach the unlearned about cannabis use, CustomGrow does a lot of green. He gets a lot of marks and what have you. So it’s no surprise that he has an estimated net worth of $500,000. This figure could be much higher considering his fame and notoriety in WeedTubing.
3. Came into conflict with the law
His camera helped him watch out for police when he did and posted a video with some of his friends breaking the ‘dead end’ law at the Vance Creek Bridge in Shelton. They walked on the steel bars while smoking and some were even high. This did not sit well with law enforcement, who saw it as an attempt at blatant disregard for the law.
